Description:
------------
When I unset more then one element while iterating through SplDoublyLinkedList object it throws an OutOfRangeException exception. Im guessing that this is because each time an the offsetUnset() method is called, the keys of the list are reset. This should not be happening until the loop is rewind()'ed.
Test script:
---------------
$List = new SplDoublyLinkedList();
$List->push('a');
$List->push('b');
$List->push('c');
$List->push('d');
foreach ( $List as $key => $value ) {
echo "Current element: key = {$key}, value = '{$value}'. ";
if ( in_array($value, ['b', 'd']) ) {
echo "MATCH! performing unset";
unset($List[$key]);
}
echo "\n";
}
Expected result:
----------------
The elements should be removed from the list, and no exception should be thrown. At the very least it should act as the ArrayObject object: triggers a notice, but gets the job done. But the perfect solution would be the way ArrayIterator does it - clean, no errors:
$Arr = new ArrayIterator(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']);
foreach ( $Arr as $key => $value ) {
echo "Current element: key = {$key}, value = '{$value}'. ";
if ( in_array($value, ['b', 'd']) ) {
echo "MATCH! performing unset";
unset($Arr[$key]);
}
echo "\n";
}
var_dump($Arr->getArrayCopy());
Actual result:
--------------
OutOfRangeException

I spent a bit of time figuring out why my work-around doesn't work. The reason is when you remove an element the remaining keys are renumbered. This means that there is no easy way to get this to work as expected. If we were to change SplDoublyLinkedList to not reorder the keys (which would make it behave like the ArrayIterator example) it would be a major BC break. I don't think we can do it. What are your thoughts?

I just ran into https://gist.github.com/sun/180f508862b30b6cb973
Wondering whether this bug here + the fact that keys are re-keyed upon unset, and the SplDoublyLinkedList::IT_MODE_LIFO bug outlined in the gist, are effectively the same bug, or whether I should file a separate issue?
